2. Are Distributional Variables Useful for Forecasting With the Phillips Curve?
C-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : Does information on the distribution of wealth and income help us forecast aggregate macroeconomic variables? In this thesis, we study how adding such distributional variables to a standard forecasting model affects the forecast accuracy, in the context of inflation forecasting. Using the simulated inflation forecasting approach of Atkeson and Ohanian (2001), we perform a horse race between a textbook NAIRU Phillips curve to an extension augmented with variables from the wealth and income distributions.
